Help:Overview



Thanks for your interest in helping out the Television wiki! Before you get started, there a few simple rules that should be followed to keep the site neat, efficient, and user-friendly.

Show pages
Pages about television shows from any network and country are always welcome. To begin a page, use the television template code below. Simply copy the code, paste into the new page, and fill out the fields:


 * Image: preferably the promotional shot with the title included of the most recent season


 * Network: the network the show originated on


 * Rating: the rating given only by the country the show originated in


 * Genre: Restrict to the single genre that best fits the show


 * Categories: the template auto-categorizes based on network, country, rating, and genre, so no need to add more categories!


 * Page format
 * The opening paragraph should be an overview or brief synopsis of the show or series. This can typically be found on the network's site.


 * Cast section: series regulars only; actor pages are linked, character pages are not linked


 * Awards, if any


 * Media
 * Images: gallery of images
 * 
 * images should only be the "season" promotional pictures that contain the show title
 * Videos: gallery of videos
 * videos should only be the promotional videos developed for premieres


 * References
 * If on the page, then include this section with the code.


 * External links - include official links; this can also contain links to wikis on the Wikia network that aren't otherwise displayed elsewhere on the page

Actor pages
Actor pages should only be filled out if they already have a link leading from a television show's page. To begin a page, use the actor template code below. Simply copy the code, paste into the new page, and fill out the fields:


 * Image: preferably a professional shot of the actor not in character


 * Page format
 * Overview of the actor, typically a brief bio that can contain information already presented in the infobox


 * Filmography section: shows that the actor has appeared on as a series regular


 * Awards, if any


 * Media
 * Images: gallery of images
 * 
 * professional images only; can be from shows or magazine interviews
 * Videos: gallery of videos
 * quality videos only, preferably from network shows


 * References
 * If on the page, then include this section with the code.


 * External links - include official links; this can also contain links to wikis on the Wikia network that aren't otherwise displayed elsewhere on the page
